Now Robert is back and is here to debunk theever pervasive myths around the trail-blazing rebeloutsider...As Robert says himself, the fashionable commentators are extremely keen to cry 'Be a rebel outsider and the modernworld will fall at your feet: your talent celebrated, your ideasworshiped'. If only it were true. In reality outsiders are usually disabled by feelings of alienation and disaffection, and bytheir inability to fit-in within a world made by insiders. Far from being celebrated, the vast majority of outsiders are potentially chained to a life of low-attainment, mental-isolation, frustration, bitterness and surrender. If you feel this way, all is not lost. The Outside Edge isall about learning to harness the unique vantage point you possessin order to give yourself the edge required to succeed. It will show you when to embrace your outsider status and go against convention, and when to play the game, do as the insiders do andmake sure you can get progress. Think of The Outside Edge as the life manual that will help you not only overcome negative feelings of exclusion but turn those into your USP - your edge. By getting The Outside Edge you can: [bullet] Gain insight into both the root causes of alienation and the all-encompassing negative consequences [bullet] Gain the confidence, guile and know-how to profitably "rebel." [bullet] Avoid pitfalls such as poor judgement, negativity andextremism [bullet] Unlock the key to success and address the real obstacles hindering your professional and personal growth"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The brand new book from the international bestselling self-help author<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>ARE YOU AN OUTSIDER?</b> <p>This is a timely book from the bestselling author of <i>What's Stopping You?</i> <p>Our culture celebrates outsiders while - in reality - slamming the door in their face. The modern world craves innovation while alienating original thinkers. It encourages creativity while shutting out all but a privileged few from individualistic expression. What a waste! <p><b>WHAT OUTSIDERS NEED: AN <i>EDGE</i></b> <p>Yet achieving great things as a genuine outsider <i>is</i> possible. Outsiders can find their own way - succeeding without compromising their individuality. They just need to forge an <i>edge</i>. <p><b>The Outside <i>Edge</i></b> is <i>the</i> book for those that feel like they don't belong - the misfits, many with strong untapped talents and potential. It's a recipe for positively directing their insecurity, awkwardness and role-confusion - towards a meaningful future, shaped and pursued on their own terms. <p><b>The Outside <i>Edge</i></b> helps you to: <ul> <li><b>Identity and understand</b> the causes of feeling like an 'outsider'</li> <li><b>Accept</b> yourself while focusing on 'finding meaning' for your life</li> <li><b>Motivate</b> yourself using strong goals, often harnessing creativity</li> <li><b>Acquire</b> the skills needed to succeed <i>on your own terms</i></li> <li><b>Avoid</b> pitfalls such as poor judgement, negativity and extremism</li> </ul> <p>'This is not another quaint book about how outsiders <i>have</i> an edge. This is a subversive manual for how outsiders can <i>carve</i> an edge for themselves with hard work, creativity and the right mental framework'<br/> <b>--Ryan Holiday, </b> bestselling author of <i>The Obstacle Is The Way</i> <p>'This is an excellent read packed with both cautionary tales and optimistic insight, for anyone who's ever felt on the periphery'<br/> <b>--Helena Pozniak, </b> life-skills writer for the <i>Daily Telegraph, The Guardian</i> and <i>The Independent</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Kelsey's book is a welcomed dose of realism in the current zeitgeist of counterproductive David vs Goliath thinking of the Malcolm Gladwell variety</i> (Elite Business, April 2015)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Kelsey</b> is author of Capstone's bestselling <i>What's Stopping You?</i> exploring why smart people failed to reach their potential. He has gone on to sell over 64,000 copies across three <i>What's Stopping You?</i> titles.<br />Robert Kelsey is CEO of Moorgate Communications, a financial PR agency, and was previously CEO of Metrocube, a start-up incubator located in London's fashionable City-fringes. He trained as a financial journalist before becoming an investment banker and a now an entrepreneur, running his successful PR agency.<br />Yet Kelsey remains and perennial outsider. From a rebellious childhood to an adulthood of pursuing a series of unsuitable careers, he has had a lifetime of failing to settle into any group activities, yet lacking the confidence, guile or know-how to profitably rebel. Kelsey has developed an enormous insight into both the root causes of alienation and the all-encompassing negative consequences.
